@stefaniei @WSJhealth @WSJ The key will be addressing the epidemic of obesity and related diseases. The US needs comprehensive treatment. Support TROA , Treat and Reduce Obesity Act! It has reintroduced each Congress since 2013. Obesity treatment was excluded from the Affordable Care Act in 2009.

@Walgreens NOLA on Robert E Lee refusing to serve someone on a bicycle in the drive though to pick up a Rx. No other vehicles around! No bike rack outside to secure my bike to. I guess I should push my bike though the store or ride through.

Speaking of Clichés: unlike other drugs, every label of drugs for diabetes/obesity must say “as an adjunct to diet and exercise” even when no study shows the drug only works when added to diet and exercise. Is this evidence-based or dogma-based medicine? https://t.co/KHC7fjXTLH
